Intriguant!Our next drama screening on the 18th of September is based on a true story:
"The Money Maker"(L'Affaire Bojarski) follows the extraordinary story of Jan Bojarski, a young Polish engineer who took refuge in France during World War II. Desperate to find a job, he turns his talents to forging identity documents during the German occupation. Once the war ends, Jan finds himself struggling to make ends meet. Stuck in underpaid jobs and denied citizenship, he is unable to patent his many inventions. Jan’s engineering expertise seems to be wasted, until a gangster recognises his skills and presents an opportunity to produce counterfeit banknotes... Jan begins to lead a double life. For over 15 years he ran a counterfeiting operation from his garden shed, unbeknownst to his wife and family and became known as the "Cezanne of counterfeit money".
